    dugout tavern - Cheesesteak sub w/onion rings

    We stopped by this bar after kayaking at Mariner State Park on a Monday evening. Dugout Tavern is…read moreout of the way from the rest of the busy streets, but it is worth stopping by. They have one pool table where APA league members usually play, a shuffle board, and a number of TVs for sports games (although they are not HD). I could tell this was a local go-to for many of the customers at this bar especially since they all seemed to know each other. Our bartender was very friendly with helping us decide what to order. We got the Belly Buster Fried Fish sub ($8.99), with a side of fries (an extra $2) and Italian Cold Cut ($9.50), with a side of chips (free), along with a Loose Cannon ($5.00) & Grapefruit Crush ($6.00). The subs were pretty good. The fried cod (I believe it was) was nice and crispy and the tartar sauce paired perfectly to cut the richness of the grease. The portion was definitely money's worth. The cold cuts in my sub were fresh. There was enough acid to not make the bread soggy. The grapefruit crush was very icy. I noticed the bartender made it by blending a grapefruit fruit cup with ice and some grapefruit-vodka. When I was done with my first drink, she poured the rest of the mixture from the blender into my glass, which I thought was very nice. All in all, dugout tavern is a hidden gem that has great food and service. There is also parking on site and outdoor seating.

    I will agree with most of the comments I have seen about the food. Everything that we have tried…read morehas been very good. The Chicken Parmesan sandwich I had last night was on point and my girlfriend had a very good chicken quesadilla as well. Prices are pretty reasonable. My only beef is with the service. The bar is a little "cliquey" from several observations. The regulars seem to get waited on immediately and a newcomer gets a "I'll be right with you". No placemats, no silverware, no napkins seems to be the norm. Had to ask for ketchup when my fries came out after getting chips by mistake. We will most likely go back though, especially since The Bird River Inn changed their whole menu and did away with most of our favorite menu items. Everything is smoked now and very salty. If you're looking for ambience, you may want to try somewhere else. The Dugout is a hole in the wall dive bar and has been for decades...just the way the regulars like it!

    Hella disappointed tonight beyond belief!!! I love this place but tonight I showed up a few minutes…read morebefore closed being as though I WALKED UP THERE about 10 minutes & it WASNT EVEN 2:00 I knocked on the door only to be greeted by some fat fucker that doesn't even work there only to be told I wasn't going to be served .... I would have been a lot more understanding IF IT WAS THE BARTENDER WHO TOLD ME I WASNT BEING SERVED. Didn't really appreciate a customer coming to tell me that... especially one that I see in the bar everyday & he was super combative like he wanted me to get out of line so they can do something to me or something terrible experience.

    Crappy Dive bar, almost no food!!…read more The category calls Skip's a restaurant... okay, you can eat a pre-made frozen pizza (you know the one that fits into the small 7/11 pizza oven) about 8in round for $6 or you can dine on chips, pretzels, or popcorn. That is the extent of Skip's delicacies. Skip's will let you bring takeout food into their place!!! That's the only thing going for them. The place is right off of middle river road, and while everyone calls it Skip's (look at my picture), on the sign you can barely see Skip's name in the fine print, but Checkered Flag stands out monumentally!!! This seedy little establishment has a humongous bar, a small packaged goods store, Internet capable jukebox, a dartboard game and a single crappy pool table. Alas it is that crappy pool table that brings Sheri and I here on occasion as this place is in our division for APA 9-ball. The beer and soda are overpriced (last night a bottle of Yuengling and can of diet coke cost $4.25, a bit much, unless of course you count the pristine ambiance of Skip's atmosphere, yeah right!!! You wouldn't catch me dead in here, except for once in a blue moon pool night. This is another rendition of: "If you don't expect much, you won't be disappointed"!!!

    This place deserves at least 10+ stars! After looking at the…read morelocal Yelp Collection, I said, "Hey," this 1 is nearby, let's go, and so we did. They have a steady flow of customers, many regulars, and of course passersby who see the cars in the lot. Many parked cars mean good food, and this turned out to be a treat. Go up the steps and see the basic menu clearly posted with prices, order at the screened window. Cash discount, but they do take cards and offer a military discount. The orders are prepared as given, and all is fresh. My husband wanted the 2 sausage sub...10", green peppers, and fried onions. It was slightly spicy-Italian sausage. This was the combo for about $15, which comes with fresh cut fries and a soft drink. They were kind enough to give a free refill of Pepsi products. He loved it and half came home. Oops, they forgot the fries, so I went back, and they made them up. I got the Pit beef, rare, raw onions, and horseradish on the side in a little cup. Huge and delicious. I melted into pit beef lala land. Then the daydream began, we ate at a picnic table out front, devouring the fries and watching the busy world go by. Time paused for us. Condiments, many of them, are available on a high bench opposite the order window. Yes, even malt vinegar for your fries! We will definitely be back.

    10/10 I highly recommend. OMG the food is really good. And the portions is insane. Definitely worth…read moreevery dollar. I am literally getting 2-3 meals from my sandwich. The fresh cut fries are cooked to perfection The staff are friendly and very courteous. Check them out.
